You and your crew watch your backs and stay safe in that UH-60. I thank you for your service.

Good grief, I've got to get to work on Violet's stocking! I've hand-made those for June and Violet, but really lost momentum on poor V. I didn't have it last year for HER FIRST Christmas - bad mum. But I reasoned she wouldn't know the difference, and she didn't!
Can't wait for Christmas this year with the WillyPig...he was only about 4 weeks old last year. I love Christmas...I'm just a big old gay elf!!!!!!!

Martin...when you picked up Pepsi...did you see much of Norwich? They've built the new mega mall thing but still have enough old town shops (bearshop yay!) in the style of Dipples. That is what I like about it, all dark wood and proper gentleman staff...real old fashioned jeweller/AD!!!!!!!

Yes we spent a good few hours looking around the market area and the stores, had breakfast at Cafe Rouge. Visited a few of the churches as well, very interesting especially the one with the carved wooden roof just off the market area. Liked Norwich and you are right it has a quite a few independent stores

A couple of days before turning 50...whether I am ready or not.



No watches shown, but these girls are what I'm most proud of:

Thank you, JJ. I've seen many pictures of your lovely family and I know how important that is to you. My two girls both graduated this year and my house is feeling very empty right now. But because this is my birthday weekend, they've come home to be with us and the simple pleasure of telling tall tales and laughing around the kitchen table is the best present of all.

Congratulations yourself. It has made me very thoughtful...or what I see in the picture my daughter took of me... a certain resigned look of quiet desperation. Turning 50 on Monday is not something I am ready to lead the marching band over. Oh well...Nothing that a shot of tequila won't cure.

Pretty funny image and phrasing. And the reason you're not writing that book is?

Jim
Ronnie Coleman could pull off a Big Ben alarm clock, but the Deep Sea just looks goofy on me and every picture I've seen. But then again I saw some pictures of me as a kid wearing clothes that a shriner clown wouldn't be caught in and I obviously must have thought I looked pretty styling. I guess it's all in your own mind anyway.

And families are pretty great, aren't they?
